‘Community’ Is Doing a Puppet Episode

The Community cast appeared at a panel in Los Angeles last night to talk about the show, and they revealed that there’s an upcoming theme episode of the show that involves all of them being played by puppets. A premiere date for the puppet episode hasn’t been announced yet, but it’ll be sometime in April or May. The episode’s plot involves the gang taking a ride in a hot air balloon that crashes in the woods, where they meet a friendly mountain man played by Jason Alexander. Dean Pelton encourages the Greendale 7 (plus Chang) to talk about the accident by using puppets, which spurs on the puppet portion of the episode. The whole hot air balloon crash part really sounds like something out of that fake Community clip show from Season 2.
